If anyone can intervene, intervention will happen, even if it takes a new law to make it so.

The only way to eliminate the human interpretation factor is to eliminate the possibility for human interpretation. This is effectively impossible in a pre-singularity world, so there can be no such thing as a contract enshrined in code which is binding.

Perhaps that is only a reasonable hope for values under $50-100M USD.
